Standard Generators of Finite Fields and their Cyclic Subgroups
Abstract
We define standardized constructions of finite fields, and standardized generators of (multiplicative) cyclic subgroups in these fields. The motivation is to provide a substitute for Conway polynomials which can be used by various software packages and in collections of mathematical data which involve finite fields.
